Better teams are using these type of schemes to help shut down offenses, but beating these brackets isn't as complicated as it seems! In this video, I’ll break down simple, effective strategies to help you navigate these tricky defenses with confidence.

Pride of New York’s end zone strategy
Sometimes that hardest part of offense in Ultimate Frisbee is trying to get those last yards to score in the endzone. The usual go to strategy is to utilize Vert Stack down here, but that strategy seems to slowly be dying out. Defenses are getting better, so offenses need to try out other stuff. PoNY is one of the top teams in the Open Club division, and their strategy in the endzone might be the way to go!
